After hearing from the current District Attorney and Public Administrator that they are opposed the proposal, the Lyon County Commissioners voted 4-1 on Feb. 21 to withdraw Assembly Bill 51, which proposed to make the DA the ex-officio public administrator for the county.

District Attorney Bob Auer, who also wrote a letter opposing the bill to the Assembly Government Affairs Committee chairman, had requested the agenda item to reconsider AB 51, and Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve Rye made a presentation expressing reasons for the DA's opposition on Auer's behalf.
